Abstract

Systems and methods for processing sensor data are provided. In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided for calibration of a continuous analyte sensor. In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided for classification of a level of noise on a sensor signal. In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided for determining a rate of change for analyte concentration based on a continuous sensor signal. In some embodiments, systems and methods for alerting or alarming a patient based on prediction of glucose concentration are provided.

Claims (14)

1. A method for determining a rate of change of a continuous glucose sensor signal, comprising:

receiving sensor data from a continuous analyte sensor, the sensor data comprising one or more sensor data points;

determining, using a processor module, a level of noise in the sensor data; and

calculating, using the processor module, a rate of change for a window of time of sensor data, wherein the window of time of sensor data comprises two or more sensor data points and wherein the processor module adaptively adjusts the length of the window of sensor data based at least in part on the determined level of noise in the sensor data.

2. A system for determining a rate of change of a continuous glucose sensor signal, comprising:

a continuous glucose sensor configured to generate sensor data associated with a glucose concentration in a host; and

a computer system configured to determine a level of noise in the sensor data and calculate a rate of change for a window of sensor data, the sensor data comprising two or more sensor data points, wherein the computer system is configured to adaptively adjust the length of the window of sensor data based at least in part on the determined level of noise in the sensor data.

3. A method for determining a rate of change of a continuous glucose sensor signal, comprising:

receiving sensor data from a continuous analyte sensor;

determining a level of noise in the sensor data; and

calculating, using a processor module, a rate of change for a window of the sensor data, wherein the window of sensor data comprises two or more sensor data points, wherein the step of calculating a rate of change comprises at least two rate of change calculations, and wherein the step of calculating a rate of change further comprises adaptively selecting a filter to apply to the at least two rate of change calculations based at least in part on the level of noise determined.

4. A system for determining a rate of change of a continuous glucose sensor signal, comprising:

a continuous glucose sensor configured to generate sensor data associated with a glucose concentration in a host; and

a computer system configured to determine a level of noise in the sensor data and calculate a rate of change for a window of the sensor data, wherein the window of sensor data comprises two or more sensor data points, wherein the rate of change calculation comprises calculating at least two rate of change calculations, and wherein the rate of change calculation further comprises adaptively selecting a filter to apply to the rate of change calculation based at least in part on the level of noise determined.
